Control Freak is a film so raw, messy, and sincere that it seems to have been torn from the bodies of the people who made it.

The compositions and palette are occasionally stunning (the cinematographer is Scott Siracusano), and while the story lacks a certain momentum, the intention, quite successful, is to keep a viewer curious.

To make it really gel, the film needed to have a stellar performance at its core. For me, Tran fell short.
Alas, boilerplate could best describe the events of Control Freak, despite the genuine commitment of Tran and Robbins, particularly with both oozing chemistry and dedication to whatever routine setup the movie provides next.
